Adult Education and Fellowship

Sandwich and Scripture:Wednesdays, 11:30 am-1:00 pm

Bring your lunch and discuss the upcoming Bible text for next week's sermon in order to know more about their historical settings as well as their meaning for our lives. Coffee is provided. 

�Love Like Jesus!�

During this coming program year, Concordia will be joining a synod-wide Discipleship Challenge, �Love Like Jesus.� The Discipleship Challenge is an invitation to grow deeper in our faith as we walk together in ministry. We will use the seven Faith Practices lifted up by the ELCA as a focus for this Challenge. The Faith Practices are not something to achieve and succeed at, but are a way of life as a response to become who Christ has called us to be . . . to follow and love like Jesus.
 
Several one-time opportunities are offered throughout the month. The goal is that 80% of the congregation participate in one opportunity or another. Choose the option that fits your schedule best:
 
Each event will include a short video clip from the synod, introducing the theme, �Love Like Jesus,� as well as discussion starters and guides on the Faith Practice Give. In addition, each participant will receive materials to take home for further consideration and study.
 
As a follow-up, congregations and individuals from the synod are invited to post pictures and videos depicting that Faith Practice on the NE MN Synod Discipleship Challenge: Love Like Jesus Facebook page, as well as helpful links and resources that can be shared.
 
This challenge is for everyone: youth groups, adult forums, church councils, intergenerational groups, Sunday school, circles, garden groups, choirs, Bible study groups, committees and any other groups that gather in your congregation and beyond! 

Companions in Christ

"Companions in Christ" is the material we will be using as a small group at this meeting. The plan is to meet about once a month at each other�s houses for dinner followed by Bible study.

There are six sessions and we'll cover about one section a month (excluding December).  The schedule is: 

July:  "Exploring Contemplative Prayer"

We typically gather for a meal first followed by the Bible study. All are welcome. If you would  like a copy of the workbook, more information or directions, contact Scott Hoecker

Prayer Ministry Team

A prayer chain prays regularly for members and special requests.  Please contact the church office if you have a prayer request.  You don't have to identify the specific subject; you may just ask for prayer, etc.  If you prefer, you may simply give first names or initials.  All prayers are confidential.

Bridges to Christ - Women's Service and Fellowship Group

Fellowship and service among Lutheran women meets first Monday night, 6:45 pm monthly throughout the school year.
